Seven senior Conservative MPs will launch a bid to stop Boris Johnson becoming prime minister if he endorses a no-deal Brexit.
The 'One Nation Caucus' of moderate Conservative MPs includes Work & Pensions secretary Amber Rudd, Nicky Morgan, and multiple Cabinet ministers.
The 60-strong"One Nation Caucus" of moderate Tory MPs will try to move the party towards the centre-ground and will"work to stop any leadership candidate who endorses a 'Nigel Farage No-Deal Brexit,'" sourcesThe stance has been widely interpreted as a warning to Boris Johnson and other Tory leadership frontrunners who are flirting with the idea of backing a no-deal Brexit.
The moderates are particularly concerned that a future leader will be tempted to form an electoral pact with Nigel Farage's upstart Brexit Party, which is picking up support from disillusioned Tory voters, and would likely involve the Conservative leadership endorsing a plan to leave the EU with no deal.
He told the BBC's Andrew Marr show:"If you go down the path of no-deal Brexit, you're going to lose 4 million Remain voters who voted for the Conservatives last time so you won't win an election, and no-deal Brexit is a vote for Jeremy Corbyn."
